The sister of Dylann Roof launched an online campaign this week to raise $5000 for a planned wedding and honeymoon that had been subsequently cancelled in the wake of the massacre.

Amber Roof’s brother Dylann is suspected of killing nine people at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, only a few short weeks ago.

She has turned to Go Fund Me to ask supporters to donate toward her campaign in an effort to “cover lost wedding costs, pay bills, and to send us on our dream honeymoon.”

As of this morning, $1,619 had been pledged.

Amber and her fiance were originally slated to be married on June 21, a mere four days after her brother, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, gunned down nine worshippers at the historic black church.

She states on her Go Fund Me page that she was forced to cancel her wedding day in order to “to protect [her] family and mourn the lives of those lost,” explaining that what was supposed to be “the day every girl dreams of,” instead turned into a day “full of sorrow, pain, and shame, tainted by the actions of one man.”

“The Charleston Massacre took place and our lives were forever changed. The media abused our privacy and published all of our wedding information and destroyed our dream day,” she added.

1. Well, it's not her fault.

She's not her brother, nor his keeper.

Seems their father might have been an asshole, but they had a decent step-mother who helped raise them. Even so, we don't know if she harbors the same hate. Her brother might have had mental issues she does not that pushed him over the edge into hatred and violence.

I actually feel sorry for her.

8. The sister did or GoFundMe?

Just curious. Never mind, I saw that it was the sister that pulled it.

It was a bad decision to put it up in the first place.

This is one seriously messed up family.
